  Multispace 5-dr Diesel Just £3,425 At Auction Today 16 Oct 2002 (News)
  Put some miles behind them, as was the case with the ex-Lex leggies and just £850 bought a 97R Laguna 1.8RT (146k); £1,400 had 97p Vectra 1.8GLS (136k); £1,575 took home a 98R Omega 2.0GLS (161k); £2,175 purchased a 99T Mondeo Aspen TD (127k); £2,750 grabbed a 99T Vectra 2.0DI LS (115k); and £3,925 was enough for a 99V Passat S TDI 90 estate (159k). But £3,225 didn’t quite buy a 99S Alfa 156 2.0TS which had confounded the sceptics by staying together for 138,867 miles. Nor was £5,550 quite enough for 98S Freelander 1.8 5-door that had somehow managed 112,865.

  Old 7 Series are well off the boil, with a 39,000 mile 2000W 740iL selling for £25,000; a 44,000 mile 99V 728i selling for £18,600; and a 59,000 mile 98S 735i selling for just £12,500.

The safest place to stash your dough would seem to be a BMW E46 3-Series convertible, especially if it happens to be an M3.

  New Lexus IS300 Here from 1st October 25 Sep 2001 (News)
  It develops 211bhp at 5,800rpm and 212lb ft (288Nm) torque at 3,800rpm. That's a bit short of the 231bhp of the BMW 330 and 240bhp of the Jaguar S-Type 3.0 V6, but it still gets the IS300 to sixty in 8.2 seconds and on to a top speed of 143mph. The combined fuel consumption figure of the saloon is 26.1mpg with CO2 output of 256g/km (SportCross 25.2mpg and 265g/km).

  Three Hondas failed to get anywhere near where the auctioneer needed them to be.

  Heroes: Stanley Mann 11 Feb 2016 (News)
  He twice led a team across Russia and in one unforgettable year, led a team of Bentleys on a 1000-mile-long rally across America, arriving covered in dust and oil at Laguna Seca, where he placed his car on pole and won the race by a huge margin, much to the puzzlement of the locals who could not understand how such a scruffy old Bentley could go so fast! In November 2015, Benjafield’s Racing Club was voted Club of the Year at the annual International Historic Motoring Awards, a fitting tribute to his vision and unswerving commitment. Stanley was well respected the world over and built enduring friendships, with a portfolio of wealthy and famous clients who purchased often high value cars for their collections.

  Volkswagen also manipulated emissions tests in Europe, says German minister 24 Sep 2015 (News)
    The emissions scandal broke last week when Volkswagen admitted it had used specific  software in the US to cheat the NOx emission test. In the US, the Jetta, Beetle, Golf and Audi A3 - all from between 2009 and 2015 - along with the 2014 Passat were all software fitted that detected when a test was being carried out and could lower the emissions accordingly.  Volkswagen has since confirmed that 11 million cars worldwide are fitted with software that could potentially manipulate emissions test results.
